Gov. Brian Kemp urged preparedness and his challenger Stacey Abrams touted gun safety laws as they each addressed school board members from across Georgia this week.
In a speech at the Georgia School Boards Association's annual conference in Savannah, Kemp said the state's public safety training center will train 300 school resource officers this year and provide them more opportunities for active shooter training. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency and Department of Education will also unveil an updated school safety plan later this month, according to Kemp.
"We have to remain vigilant and learn how to best spot the warning signs so that we can intervene before tragedy occurs," the Republican said.
